I've actually been really tempted to set this up. I already have the official car mode dock for my Droid X and always dock it when I am in the car. As of now I use Torque extensively and will probably use the Track Record plugin to overlay OBD data over the videos. I just need to figure out if it is possible to have the car mode activation trigger the track recorder directly which would be extremely handy.

You wouldn't happen to be referring to the "MPD cruiser up a pole" would you?

I have to admit, when I saw that on the news I laughed so hard I fell to the floor.

That's the one. Thanks.

That's perfectly normal in NY. Get a garage or a bumper guard if stuff like this upsets you. Be happy it wasn't a pickup with a towing ball in the back, that would give you something to be really upset about.

And that camera is great, except it's inadmissible in any meaningful way, so ultimately a waste of money.

It may not be admissible in court, but it is with your insurance company and with cops. This avoids the he said she said.

Laughed and said i only wish we could avoid that idiot. I forever get to remind him he is the only person i know that can roll a vehicle at 35mph on a straight away. Im sure everyone that came upon it was like how the hell could you even do that. Truck ended up in the middle of the road upside down.

Good clear view of pole and just didnt feel like it should as i also never saw the guy wire. Truck climbed it like it was the road. If you look real close you can see the roof caved in the rear. Went from ok here we go to OMFG jimmy are you ok. As bent metal obstructed my view of seeing him . It was about a year ago tho so we laugh about it now. Had visions of losing my brother that day. Guess to stay up top you would actually have to hit the brakes. He not only didnt hit the brakes he was on the gas the whole time.

The tow truck dragged it there to allow traffic to pass. dam guy wire should be more than 6 inches off the road. Of course he had to jump the sidewalk to reach the wire. Felt like a carnival ride lol.

There was something just like that on the local news about a cop car that the same thing happened too, except he hit the top and the car just stayed angled up.

It was actually on its roof but this is after the tow truck was half done. He drifted off the road and drove the front wheel up the guy wire of the pole in the rear. Claims he fell asleep but we were mid conversation. Personally i have to think it was that hot ass woman across the street. Like i told him oh well you sure cleaned my bed out fast and efficient.

Watched the second video. Since this is Canada I don't know what happened, but in the US I know a very good way it could have ended. 1) Police investigation reveals that there is no conclusive evidence (aka we don't give a shit and only doing this because the news got involved) 2) the accused sues the shit out of the camera owner for defamation of character, slander and other random garbage (and of course the damaged bumper)

I agree with both points, that IS the American way :huh:.

You need to watch the second video. BTW, it can be proven the car didn't move. If you watch closely (1st vid), the car WAS stationary while other lanes of traffic was moving.

EDIT: News footage

In the first video (didn't watch the second), you can't prove which car was moving which one wasn't. Just because the one with the camera looks stationary doesn't make it so. I guess if the cops were really diligent (which they won't be in 99% of cases without injuries), they can ask the guy in the front car to show that his reverse lights work, but even then the best they can do is give him malfunctioning equipment ticket, which is he remains calm he can claim that the lights stopped working from the impact.

Overall this was a bad scam, normally when this happens on a "pro" level, the car that is going to be hit has a switch to disable brake lights and just stops. What is your camera going to show then? That he stopped short without brake lights? You still hit him, best case scenario 90/10 fault distribution.

Dodge posted : I do care about my car, which is why I have a garage and don't park on the street unless I really have to. When I didn't have a garage, I had bumper guards both front and back, simply because there is no way around people parking like that, and you can't spend your entire days hunting down assholes to key their cars.

Maybe it is perfectly fine if somebody uses your junk car as bumper guard. I am not fine with that. And I had pick up truck trash my grille one winter. So yeah, I am upset about that.

I do care about my car, I am mindful of other people's cars.

And if you park like that, don't be surprised to have your car keyed one day, and yeah, it is perfectly normal in NYC.
